Our commitment to the fediverse is here to stay.

Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.

We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.

Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.

This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!

@EUCommission @Mastodon Didn't you have a fediverse instance before? What's the difference now?
@ponda @EUCommission @Mastodon
I believe that was more of a trial. Now there's a permanent instance, with - I assume - all the things they've learned about Mastodon incorporated into the setup.
@ponda @EUCommission @Mastodon until yesterday it was an experimental instance that would have been shut down for lack of funding.
I guess someone stepped in to help.
Now let's just hope it was for the sake of good rather than for the sake of profit.
